road less traveled

Life gives opportunities to everybody to take his own course, to live his life on his own conditions, fate is nothing, only thing matters is your attitude...REALLY ???
What I learned in this journey called life has brought enormous changes inside me. Unlearning of false traditions has taken lot of time and efforts but it was a worth living experience, though still i am in the process.The idea of personal solidarity and the idea of societal cooperation are two conflicting concepts that has tormented me as an individual. It is like dilemma of looking for the independence without becoming alien to one's surroundings.
Education (though i have not been very good in it ), is meant to broaden your horizon but self learning also makes you more open minded, tests your ability to take your own stands and remain firm on those when the time demands.
I have tried observing the past from a deterministic point of view, where causes lead to effects. While world is more probabilistic in nature because here outcomes are driven by invisible or chance events.
To discredit uncertainty in a documenting rules of the process with the acquired knowledge is to deny the element of chaos and chance in planning for future. Predictions can be falsified and uncertainty has an empirical significance. Trial and error is only way to the growth in the world of experience and learning. That I learned on how to see the future.
We tend to fit our perceptions of the world into the model we have constructed in our minds about how the world works. It is easier to accept as valid evidence that fits our model than it is evidence that doesn’t. Some of this filtering is at an unconscious level – our minds are constantly trying to make valid perceptions out of the evidence of the senses.



I am just quoting words on wisdom of life by Rational Fool :

Regimes come and go. So do gods, messiahs, and religions. What endure are ideas, ideas tested by reason and evidence. The ideas of liberty and equality - that all people are free and equal, and no individual or collective may be granted exclusive privileges and immunities in law - these are enduring ideals that have guided humanity along the path of civilization. The rest, however passionately embraced by the populace at a moment in history, are destined to perish in the Darwinian struggle for survival.
